WEBVTT - Sally Ride & Jules Verne 0:00:02.680 --> 0:00:06.160 Crystal ball, crystal ball, show me the future, show me 0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:13.120 it all, crystal ball, crystal ball show me. Heyb Elliott, 0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:16.159 you scared me and I dropped my crystal ball. Oh no, 0:00:16.280 --> 0:00:18.320 I'm so sorry. Wait a minute, why would you have 0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:21.360 a crystal ball? Well, I was hoping to predict the future, 0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:24.200 but it wasn't working anyway. Clearly it should have told 0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:26.640 me you were going to come in and ruin Maday. 0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:29.400 Maybe I forgot to turn it on. But the you 0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:31.600 don't need a crystal ball to predict the future. In fact, 0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:34.240 it won't work at all. Instead, all you really need 0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:39.280 is your imagination, like the two people were talking about today. Yes, 0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:41.639 two big names from the past who helped imagine and 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:45.320 shape the future, Jules Verne and Sally Ride. Jules Verne, 0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:49.760 who imagined fantastic worlds of technological advancement in his popular novels, 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:53.080 and Sally Ride, who inspired a nation to dream big 0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:59.680 with her pioneering work as a real life astronaut and beyond. Yep, Hey, sorry, 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:02.000 I bro your crystal ball. Yeah it's okay, it was 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:05.160 our rental.

Right now, our contestants were sent Who 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:17.440 Was books about too important figures from history. Now they're 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:18.880 here to show off their knowledge in the hopes of 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:24.799 winning fantastic prizes, prizes promos. Today's subjects are science fiction 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:29.720 pioneer Jules Verne and science fact pioneer Sally Ride. Now 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:34.400 let's meet our contestants and up first, we have Henry. Hi, 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:39.520 I'm Henry and I play violin and piano. Now, Henry, 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:44.000 do you play violin and piano at the same time? No? Okay, 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.240 all right, well maybe that's something to work towards. Maybe 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:48.720 if you could work play the piano with your toes 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:53.760 and the violin with your hands. Well, thank you, Henry. Uh. 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:56.960 And today on the show, we also have Pressley. Hi. 0:02:57.080 --> 0:03:02.600 I'm Pressley and I'm All Star cheerleadre Oh. All right, 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:07.400 that is so exciting, so uh, Pressley, please tell us 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:13.160 what's your favorite thing about cheerleading? Probably tumbling? Tumbling nice. 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:15.280 I think my favorite part of cheer leading would be 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:18.240 the vocal part of it, because I'm not very good 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:20.160 at tumbling. As it turns out, Presley, what is it 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:22.440 about tumbling that you like so much? I just like 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:26.280 learning how to do new skills. Very cool, that's great. 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:29.200 That's the most fun thing when you do an activity 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:31.280 is to learn how to do new things with it, 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:34.720 like tumbling while playing piano while playing violin at the 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:36.720 same time. I'm just thinking the two of you could 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:39.520 team up and really do your activities together. In a 0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:42.520 way that challenges the world and changes the way people 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:45.640 think about violins and pianos and cheerleading. Thank you both 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:47.840 of you, and thank you to Eric, our musician, providing 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:50.480 that incredible meet the contestants music as well as all 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:52.960 the music you'll hear on the show today. So that's 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.680 who is Henry and Presley. Now let's find out who 0:03:55.880 --> 0:04:03.680 was Jules Verne with four fast facts Prospects. Jules Verne 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:06.160 was born in France in eighteen fifty and died in 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:09.960 nineteen oh five. Verne wrote many classic novels beloved to 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:13.720 this day, including Around the World in Eighty Days. Jules 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:16.440 verne stories were among the first to combine real life 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:19.400 science with fantastical stories, in a style of writing we 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:23.040 now call science fiction. Jules was thirty years old before 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:25.039 he started writing the books that would make him world 0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:33.600 famous Prospects. In his late nineteenth century stories, Jewels Verned 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:38.119 predicted technologies like submarines and rockets to space decades before 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:41.880 they became realities. What science or technology do you think 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:44.520 we have today that would really blow Jules Verne's mind? 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:50.240 I think that you'd probably could probably be more puzzled 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:55.119 about about how how our TVs work. I'm from now 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:57.520 and I get confused about how might TV works A 0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.960 lot of the time. You're always texting me for your password, 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:01.839 elliott I said, just put it, write it down on 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:04.080 a piece of paper, and that's how. That's how used 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.480 alve that problem. Here's the thing. I also get confused 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:08.920 about how pieces of paper work. So it's something that 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.719 I just need a lot of help with everything. Uh, Presley, 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:13.960 what do you think? Did you have any predictions about 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:15.440 the future. What kind of machines do you think we 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:17.720 might have in the future? In a machine that will 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:21.040 solve my mask back? Yeah, that would be helpful for 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:22.960 all of us. I think I wish I had something 0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:25.520 like that, and I need a machine that has my 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:28.920 passwords for my TV. Although then I'll need to have 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:31.400 a machine that keeps the password for that machine, and 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:33.480 I'll need a machine that's the password for that machine. 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:37.400 I'm gonna need so many machines, you know what. We Uh, 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.320 we should just keep moving on. But those were great answers. Yes, 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:44.640 as we're very good answers. Are you getting those answers are? 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:55.240 Oh my goodness, it cannot be sure, Fern Jules. But 0:05:56.640 --> 0:06:00.880 technology even eyes. The great George barn Put have predicted 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:08.440 the world changing. Who was app Who was that? You want? 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:19.360 Someone in the past? Wow, Jules Verne, Hey, do you 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:22.000 want to help us with the first round of our game? Well, 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:27.080 I'm not here to play. How you say hungry hungry hippos? Yeah, 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:29.159 that's how you say it. But here's what we're going 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:31.560 to do. It's a game we call true or false. 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:35.680 Whereas Juels might say ray Ufoe, Hey, Eric, do we 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:42.320 have a special ray Ufoe staying for jewels? Yeah? False? 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:51.080 As Eric never ceases to amaze us, they have a 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:55.000 jingle for everything. Okay, In this game, Jules Verne is 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:58.240 going to say something about his incredible light, and you'll 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:00.760 have to tell us whether what he's saying is true 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:04.440 or false. And because this is our first game, each 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:09.280 question is worth one point each. So this first question 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:15.200 is for Henry. You're at first okay, already True or false. 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.920 My father was a little bit upset when I began 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:22.080 my writing career because he wanted me to join the 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:29.280 family business, which was running at cheese shop. False. You're right, 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:32.120 it's false. The burn family business wasn't cheese It was 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:35.640 the slightly less smelly profession of law. Take that lawyer's 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:38.440 lawyer burn. Jules's father, Pierre wanted his son to become 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:42.080 a lawyer just like him, Right, Jules, you can say 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:44.960 that my father Pierre really put a lot of Pierre 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:48.360 pressure on me. You couldn't say that, and you did. 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:51.239 But as Jules's success grew, so did his father's support 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:56.320 of his career. Now how you say, um hugged it out? 0:07:56.840 --> 0:08:00.480 How lovely? Okay, This next question is for you President Waila. 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:04.920 True or false? In eighteen seventy I had to put 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:08.760 my career on hold while France was fighting something called 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:13.800 the Franco Prussian War. That's right, it's true. You're right. 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:16.280 France was fighting off an attack by the Prussians which 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:18.880 we would now call Germans in the Franco Prussian War, 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.640 and Jules lent his services by piloting his boat to 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:25.040 the San Michelle to help search for enemy ships. I 0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:28.520 did not find any enemy ships, but I found new 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:33.520 determination to write the greatest books I could. How inspiring. 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:37.319 The next question is for Henry Jules, Okay, true or false? 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:41.840 Twenty thousand Leagues Onto the Sea was my super smash 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:45.520 heat novel, which followed the Brave Captain Nemo and his 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:53.240 adventures playing faithball on the ocean floor. False. Yes, that's false. 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:55.480 The leagues in twenty Leagues under the Sea were in 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:58.200 baseball leagues. They referred to an old way in which 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:03.200 we measured underwater distances. Exactly, Elliot, my friend, But I 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:07.920 do get that base part thing a lot. Okay. Resley 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:12.000 is up next. Okay. One of my first books was 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:15.360 about an adventure in a hot air balloon. But it 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:18.439 wasn't a very big seller until one of my friends 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:22.920 started flying a giant hot air balloon around Perry. True 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:28.640 or false. False, I'm sorry, that's true. Five weeks in 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:30.360 a balloon with the name of the book is not 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:32.400 a big hit at first, but and Jule's friends, the 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:37.319 eccentric photographer and writer named Nedair, captured France's imagination by 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:42.079 demonstrating a giant balloon. The book took off. Oui monsieur 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:47.760 Nedir in crib. He called this giant balloon Gian because 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:52.680 Gian means giant in French. A gentleman and a genius 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:56.200 and a Gian, and my book wrote a wave of 0:09:56.320 --> 0:10:00.120 French hot air balloon favor. And now let's ride that 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.240 fact to the end of round one and the end 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:07.960 of true or false true true true true poorful? Ah, 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:11.840 does this mean I must go? I'm afraid so, Mr Verne, 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:14.320 But thank you so much for visiting well where the 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:18.880 pleasure it was all mine. The future is a fantastic world, 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:22.880 beyond even my imagination. Now, could you direct me to 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:26.160 the nearest rocket to the moon. This is the future. 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:28.960 You have those No, no, we don't have those. But 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:30.840 you can have a phone that fits in your pocket. 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:39.360 I have no idea what any of those words mean. Okay, 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:42.400 Oh my gosh, I guess in Jules Verne day, they 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:47.000 didn't really have pockets. Learn something new every day. Now, 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:51.000 let's touch base with producer Jane for the scores. We 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:53.920 have a very close game. Presley has one point and 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:57.800 Henry has two points. Thank you, Jane. Those scores are 0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:00.559 very close. It's still anyone's game and we'll get right 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:03.400 back to the game after this short break. Eric, please 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:09.280 play us some future music if you would.

Today we're learning all 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:23.840 about who was Jules Verne and who was Sally Ride? 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:28.079 And now back to your host, Elliott Kaylin, thank you be. 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:31.839 Our current scores are Henry too and Pressley one. These 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:34.400 are fierce competitors, So let's get right to the next 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:36.800 game by finding out more about Sally Ride with four 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:44.320 fast factors. Sally Ride was born in California in ninety 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:48.640 one and died in Sally Ride became the first American 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:53.280 woman to fly to space in Sally's intense physical training 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:56.559 for her space flight included exercises like being dragged behind 0:11:56.640 --> 0:12:00.200 a speedboat while wearing a space suit. Sally will the 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:02.880 first openly l g B t Q person on United 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:05.880 States currency when she appears on a quarter entering circulation 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:12.960 in two that's this year. Wow, what a pioneer. How 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.040 about you, Henry? How about you, Besley? Do you think 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:17.000 you'll ever be able to go up into space? Do 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:19.199 you want to? And if you do, what do you 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:21.280 want to do there? Henry shaking his head, No, you 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.280 don't want to go into space? Yeah, tell us more 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:26.960 about that? Why why not? Well? What is that like? 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:28.960 It's not going to take its toll on the body 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:34.640 to I don't have to have to train for a year, right, Yeah, 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:36.400 that does seem like a lot of time just to 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:39.120 like go somewhere, Like, I don't want to have to 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:40.880 train for a year, you know, to go to San 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:46.320 Francisco or Seattle or Chicago or Akron or Toledo. Well, 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:49.319 now Toledo, i'd train for a year. Okay, we're training 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:50.679 for a year to go to Toledo. Op Pressly, what 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:52.360 about you? Have you ever thought about going into space? 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.200 Is that's something you'd like to do. I just want 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:57.000 to go up there, and since i'm waitless, I can 0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:01.360 just do like flips and stuff. Yeah, imagine how much 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:03.959 great cheerleading you could do with no gravity. You could 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.679 fly through the air with the greatest of ease. That 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:09.240 would be amazing. Henry, is this making it sound any 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:12.920 more exciting to go into space? No? No, okay, given 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:15.120 a big shake of the head. No, I understand that 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:18.040 that means more astronaut ice cream for us. It's okay, Henry. 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:20.559 Don't worry. We'll send you a postcard though. Yeah, yeah, 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:25.400 I wish you were here from space. Well, I understand. 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:27.760 Those are great answers. Everyone's got their own opinions about space, 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:29.200 and there's a lot to think about it. There, So 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:31.400 let's move on to our next game. It's all about 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:42.520 Sally Ride, and it's called multiple Space Choice. I like 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:46.600 that theme song. That's great. It's like multiple choice questions, 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:49.960 but about space. You'll hear a space question and three 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:52.760 space answers, and you'll have to tell us which one 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:55.440 is the space correct one. And since this is the 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:59.120 second round, each question is worth two space points. Are 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:02.040 you ready? B did you just write a multiple choice 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:04.400 game but use the word space for every other word 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:09.920 hex space? Now? Okay, Presley. Before she became an astronaut, 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:14.240 Sally Ride went to Stanford University to become a scientist 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:18.439 who studies the properties of space. This kind of scientist 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:24.320 is called a a space propertist, be a cosmonaut, or 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:30.280 see an astrophysicist. That's right at C. An astrophysicist is 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:33.360 what you call someone who studies the properties of space. Oh, 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:36.400 you mean, like it's hugeness or its emptiness. Yeah, we're 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:40.880 it's second home in Taus. That's another property that space has. Okay, Henry, 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:44.120 this next question is for you. After being selected to 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:47.480 be an astronaut, Sally was surprised to find out that 0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:50.920 out of four thousand people working at NASA's Mission Control 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:55.040 in Houston. How many of them were women? A About 0:14:55.080 --> 0:15:01.120 two thousand, B about forty or C about four B. No, 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:03.520 I'm sorry the answer is C. When she arrived at 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.440 NASA ninety seven, Sally found they were just under a 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:08.880 handful of women working there, But she paved the way 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:11.480 for thousands of other women who broke through and followed 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:13.760 her lead over the years since then. The next multiple 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:18.800 space choice question is for Presley Pressley. For her first 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:22.720 Space Shuttle mission, Sally Ride helped both design and operate. 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:28.240 What important piece of equipment was it? A A navigation system, 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:34.680 be a giant robotic arm, or C a space heater. D. 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:38.920 That's right, it's be a robotic arm. The massive robotic 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:41.520 arm that Sally helped design was used to move equipment 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:45.240 and even to launch satellites into space. Plus, I'm assuming 0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:48.000 giant robot arms were also used to give giant robot hugs. 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:51.080 And the last question is for Henry all right, Henry. 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:54.400 After her career as an astronaut, Sally started a company 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:57.760 called Sally Ride Science with the help of some colleagues 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:01.920 and her partner of twenty seven years, Tam O'Shaughnessy. What 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:05.640 did that company do? A. It made robot arms for 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:10.680 American homes. B. It promoted science education, especially for girls. 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:14.800 Or see it sold t shirts that said ride Sally 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:19.760 Ride B. That's right, it's be Sally Ride. Science created 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:22.200 programs to inspire young people to pursue their love of 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:25.960 science and science careers, especially girls. And it worked. More 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:27.960 and more girls are going into science and that can 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:31.080 only be a good thing. Indeed, and that's it for 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:41.680 multiple space choice, Choice Choice. That was a great space game. 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:44.360 Now let's go to space Jane with the space scores. 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:48.800 A space eliot. I believe these scores right now? Are 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:54.200 Presley five Henry four? All right, Well, with all that 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:57.120 talk about space, I've realized I need a little space 0:16:57.200 --> 0:17:00.240 for myself. Let's take a break, fair enough us, and 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:02.360 we'll be back with the last thrilling game in just 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:05.000 a bit. After this break, Eric, please play us some 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:19.840 giant robot arms music. Please massive capture Sally. Who was there, 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:25.639 Marie Curie? You may remember me from winning multiple Nobel prizes, 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:29.320 or perhaps from my episode of the Worst Podcast where 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:32.439 I played myself. I wanted to take a moment to 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:35.920 read one of my favorite reviews about the Who Was Podcast. 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:40.879 This is from Shaken Bay and it reads loved this 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:44.959 Me and my little sister love this show more. Please. 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:49.320 Our faith is Rietman. If you want to hear your 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:52.439 review right on the air, make sure to subscribe, like 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:55.720 and review to the Oast podcast in the I Heart 0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:59.520 Radio up or wherever you get your podcasts A revoir 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:11.760 Should I stay abio? We're back on the Who Was Podcast. 0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:14.679 When we last left off, Henry had four points and 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:18.240 Presley had five points. And now back to your host, 0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:21.720 Elliott Klin, Thank you be, and now it's signed for 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:36.160 our final game, Converge of Greatness. In this multiple choice game, 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:38.680 we'll explore how the lives of Jules Verne and Sally 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:42.119 Ride connect, overlap, or converge. And because we're in the 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:45.040 third round of the game, each question is worth three points. 0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:47.560 Are you ready? Okay? The first question goes to you, 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:51.120 Henry be take it away, okay, Henry. Sally Ride wrote 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:54.480 a book about her real life experience of spaceflight, called 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:58.480 To Space and Back. Jules Verne wrote a space flight 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:02.159 book too, about and imaginary trip to Space. What was 0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:05.359 that book called? Was it a From the Earth to 0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:09.080 the Moon, be around the Galaxy in thirty five days, 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:15.960 or see the Intrepid Star Travelers from Beyond Time see 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:19.600 I'm So sorry. The answer was a The book was 0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:21.760 called From the Earth to the Moon. It also had 0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:24.760 a sequel called Around the Moon, and it inspired the 0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:27.639 first ever science fiction movie, which was called A Trip 0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:30.280 to the Moon. Okay, let's move on to the next question, 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:34.840 which is for Pressley. In his Moon books, Jules Verne 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:39.680 predicted that rockets to space would someday take off from Florida, Florida. 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:44.159 That's so specific, And indeed Sally Ride's space Shuttle flights 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:48.680 took off from what Florida location? Was it a cape? 0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:56.200 Jules Verne b Cape Canaveral or see Cape Disney The Yes, 0:19:56.280 --> 0:19:58.760 that's right, it's b. It's the Kennedy Space Center at 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:01.320 Cape Canaveral in flori where that fights took off from. 0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:03.840 NASA wanted to do launches near the ocean in case 0:20:03.880 --> 0:20:06.080 the astronauts got in trouble and had to splash down 0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:10.199 to safety, and amazingly, astronauts splashing down to safety is 0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:14.000 another aspect of space flight predicted by Jules Verne. Also, amazingly, 0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:17.000 no one at Cape Canaveral actually wears a cape. They 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:19.440 wear spacesuits. Makes sense, right, Well, they don't want to 0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:21.920 be too on the nose, you know, it's not cape 0:20:21.960 --> 0:20:27.080 Cano's role, all right. Henry Jules Verne wrote about nineteenth 0:20:27.080 --> 0:20:30.560 century technology helping someone get around the world in a 0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:35.679 zippy eighty days. In her pioneering space flight, Sally Ride 0:20:35.960 --> 0:20:39.600 orbited around the world many times in just six days. 0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:43.760 But how many times did Sally Ride travel from Earth 0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:51.400 to space altogether? A once? B twice or see three times? 0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:57.440 A space pioneer lady, See, I'm sorry, it's actually be 0:20:57.680 --> 0:21:00.000 Sally Ride was the first American woman to go to space, 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:03.280 and also the first American woman to go to space twice, 0:21:03.600 --> 0:21:06.160 once in nine eighty three and once in nineteen eighty four, 0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:08.240 not any times after that. But it's still not fair 0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:10.320 she went to space twice. I haven't even been up 0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:13.720 there once. All right, get in line, buddy, okay. Last 0:21:13.720 --> 0:21:18.119 converge of greatness question is for Pressley. Sally Ride inspired 0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:21.000 millions of girls with her career in space. But we 0:21:21.119 --> 0:21:24.080 also know that Jules verne book Around the World in 0:21:24.160 --> 0:21:28.080 eighty Days inspired one particular young woman to try her 0:21:28.119 --> 0:21:32.560 own trip around the world. In eighty nine she succeeded too, 0:21:33.119 --> 0:21:37.000 and just in seventy two days. What was her name? 0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:42.560 Was it a Julia Verne b Edith Alice Poe or 0:21:42.760 --> 0:21:47.760 see Nellie Bly? See that's right, The answer is see 0:21:47.800 --> 0:21:50.800 it was Nellie Bly. Newspaper readers in America loved her 0:21:50.840 --> 0:21:54.240 stories from her adventures around the world. Plus during her travels, 0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:58.480 Nellie even got to meet Jules Verne himself. Great job everyone, 0:21:58.720 --> 0:22:10.639 and that's it for Verge of Greatness. And that was 0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:13.080 our final game of the game. But while we wait 0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:15.040 for Jane to telly the final points, I'd like to 0:22:15.040 --> 0:22:17.679 hear a little bit more from our contestants. What's something 0:22:17.760 --> 0:22:22.000 about either Jules Verne or Sally Ride that really surprised 0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:25.280 you or stuck out to you or made a big impression. Yeah? 0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:29.639 How should be surprised about? How? Really? About how Jewels 0:22:29.680 --> 0:22:33.680 friend his father reacted to him becoming a writer. Yeah? 0:22:34.400 --> 0:22:36.040 Did you think he would have been more excited about 0:22:36.119 --> 0:22:39.280 him becoming a writer if he was Oh yeah, I 0:22:39.280 --> 0:22:40.760 mean if he was alive today, he'd be like, let 0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:43.760 me see if you wrote any books that that did well, wow, 0:22:43.840 --> 0:22:46.400 they're all still here? Yeah, Okay, go ahead and do it. 0:22:46.720 --> 0:22:48.640 I would say, as someone who's a writer, I think 0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:50.879 it's great to be a writer. It's pretty bold of 0:22:50.960 --> 0:22:53.159 Jewels to say, like, you know what, I gotta do 0:22:53.240 --> 0:22:55.080 my own thing. I have to carve my own path, 0:22:55.200 --> 0:22:57.680 and this is what I think. And that he became 0:22:57.760 --> 0:23:02.280 so successful. And that's another real similarity between Jewels Run 0:23:02.280 --> 0:23:04.360 and Sally Ride. Is there both people who I'm sure 0:23:04.359 --> 0:23:06.760 we're told at different parts of their life you can't 0:23:06.800 --> 0:23:08.320 do the thing that you want to do. I don't 0:23:08.359 --> 0:23:09.760 want you to be a writer, or you can't be 0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:12.240 an astronaut. But they pushed through and they did it, 0:23:12.320 --> 0:23:14.800 and that's really exciting. If you want to do something, 0:23:15.119 --> 0:23:18.160 then do your best to make it happen. And don't 0:23:18.200 --> 0:23:20.479 listen to people who say that you can't. Unless they 0:23:20.520 --> 0:23:23.360 say you can't play a violin with your hands while 0:23:23.359 --> 0:23:25.080 you play a piano with your feet. That might be, 0:23:25.320 --> 0:23:26.440 now that I think about it, that might be a 0:23:26.440 --> 0:23:30.760 little too difficult. Trying, Still with trying, producer, Jane, can 0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:33.320 you please tell us our winner? All right? Sure, Ken, 0:23:34.200 --> 0:23:37.360 Henry and probably were very competitive, but in the end, 0:23:37.760 --> 0:23:43.680 Presley is our winner with eleven points. Congratulations Presley, great game. Henner, 0:23:43.760 --> 0:23:45.439 you played a great game two and you should be 0:23:45.480 --> 0:23:48.400 really proud. Presley is our winner. You get ten seconds 0:23:48.440 --> 0:23:50.840 for shout outs. Who would you like to thank for 0:23:50.920 --> 0:23:55.200 your victory today? Who helped you out? Uh? My family 0:23:56.000 --> 0:23:59.280 and my friends. That's really nice, that's great. Well, you 0:23:59.320 --> 0:24:02.879 were both fantastic contestants.
